LETTER FROM THE PUBLISHERS MARCH 25, 2020 OUR VALUED READERS, We are always ‘working ahead’ in our world. Our newspapers are written, designed, printed and sent to the Post Office up to two weeks prior to you receiving it in your mailbox. With particularly fast-moving news like what is going on today with COVID-19, we are now pushing relevant, timely news articles to our website www.MyHyperlocalNews.com and our Facebook page Facebook.com/northtatumtimes. Don’t worry, we are still printing and mailing; however, with so much happening so quickly, we want to be sure to keep you as informed and up to date as possible. You may notice that this issue is significantly lighter in pages. Much of the content that we had prepared to share with you has changed – and is continuing to change on a daily, and even hourly basis. We have removed our ‘Things to Do’ events calendar. Our popular ‘Getaway’ section has been pulled, as families are being asked to not leave their homes. New businesses that were scheduled to open have had to push back their openings to later or undetermined dates. Charitable fundraisers, food festivals, local theaters and more have all cancelled events – all of which were stories we had planned to share with you. Additionally, some bars and restaurants, gyms, retail stores and more have all been forced to temporarily shut their doors. All this to say, that we have lost a large portion of our advertisers virtually overnight. As a free publication (not subscription based), our ONLY source of income is advertising dollars. These dollars are used to pay our designers, writers, printing, postage and everything else that goes into bringing you local news each month. As you may have heard, newspapers and magazines, both locally and across the country have been dramatically affected by COVID-19. Many have been forced to enact large pay cuts, lay off workers and worse yet, close their doors entirely. To call what’s happening in our industry a ‘crisis’ would be an understatement. Eculeus Group Publishing is locally owned and operated - we are not national, corporate, franchised or 4 • April 2020 • NORTH TATUM TIMES

syndicated. We are one of the last hyper-local newspapers doing it all with a small but scrappy team of two incredible designers, a handful of Marketing Consultants and one writer. We have no intention of laying off our team and will do everything in our power to ensure that it never comes to that. As the Publishers, we feel a tremendous responsibility to continue to provide them a stable income, and a ‘home’ they can count on. We are a family here at Eculeus Group; from our staff, to our advertisers, to you - our readers. We pledge to continue to fight to bring you hope and positive news that affects you where you live. You can get your up to the minute world disaster news from anywhere; phone, tablet, tv, radio, computer… even some of your refrigerators. To survive, you need more than that. You need a little ray of sunshine that reminds you that we will get through this. That is what we are here for. If you have enjoyed reading our papers, there are two tremendous ways that you can help our efforts and keep us going: 1. SUPPORT OUR ADVERTISERS The advertisers that sprinkle our pages each month are small business owners, in many cases your neighbors, who are working to continue to serve you in socially responsible ways. If you feel that you could use their services, please reach out and make sure to let them know that you found them in North Tatum Times. If you can afford to do so: • Order takeout from locally owned restaurants • Shop online from local stores offering delivery or curbside pickup • Purchase gift cards to use at a later date • Tip a little extra There are even ways to support without spending a penny: • Leave businesses a positive review online • Recommend them on NextDoor or other in community groups • Like and share their social media posts

2. SUPPORT OUR EFFORTS Bringing you a quality publication each month takes long hours, dedication and a passion for supporting both the business owners and residents that make up our community. It also takes money. Each month we publish six newspapers, just like this one, that we direct mail to wonderfully unique communities throughout the north valley. With each issue, we touch 120,000+ homes and countless lives – at absolutely no cost to you, the reader. We will always be a free publication to the community; however, we are humbly asking for your support. We know many of you are worried about your own finances and we absolutely get it. We, like you and like many of the businesses we write about, are not immune to the dramatic downturn caused by this pandemic. However, if you believe in our mission and protecting independent media, please consider making a onetime or recurring contribution to our cause. You may do so at www.MyHyperlocalNews.com. Regardless, we truly appreciate you welcoming us into your home each month. None of us were prepared for what came so quickly, and this is undoubtedly changing all of our lives in one way or another. This means that now, more than ever, we need to practice what we preach: COMMUNITY. We as neighbors need to pull together to support one another. It may be as simple as sharing the fruit from your backyard, checking on an elderly neighbor or donating to the charities that are on the front line of this. You can bet that we will be here fighting to keep you informed now, and when all of this is over… because this city and everyone in it is worth it. Remember to be socially responsible and do your part to help stop the transmission of this virus. But most importantly, simply be kind to one another - we are all in this together. Take care of yourselves and your families. With our sincerest gratitude, Brian and Natasha Beal Publishers northtatumtimes.com

ARIZONA RESTAURANT ASSOCIATION ANNOUNCES ARIZONA TAKEOUT WEEK THE ARIZONA RESTAURANT ASSOCIATION (ARA) IS RESPONDING TO THE RECENT STATE OF EMERGENCY BY CREATING AN ALL NEW MARKETING STRATEGY TO HELP SUPPORT LOCAL DINING ESTABLISHMENTS WITH THE DEBUT OF ARIZONA TAKEOUT WEEK. Harnessing the energy from the well-attended Spring and Fall AZ Restaurant Weeks, AZ Takeout Week will help restaurants and those diners who depend on them for daily sustenance, survive what is an unprecedented crisis in the industry. The ARA is pleased to announce Arizona Takeout Week, which is now in effect and will run through the entirety of Coronavirus closures. The initiative serves to help diners and those who depend on dining establishments as a food source find restaurants offering pick-up, curbside, and delivery options during this time and aid restaurants in marketing their service options during the closure. “We appreciate and thank Governor Ducey for his efforts in working with the restaurant industry to mitigate the spread of the Coronavirus,” says Arizona Restaurant Association President and CEO Steve Chucri. “The Arizona restaurant family appreciates his work and that of all elected leaders in our state during this unparalleled time in our history.”

The culinary industry has a powerful impact on the state’s economy — and residents’ livelihoods. There are more than 10,000 dining establishments that employ more than 229,000 staff with annual restaurant sales of $13.4 billion. “At the end of the day, we are the industry of ‘happy’ — that is what the hospitality industry represents. We hope to bring a bit of happiness to Arizonans during this extremely difficult time through Arizona Takeout Week while keeping our employees and restaurants afloat,” Chucri says. The event already has more than 100 participating restaurant locations. This initiative is free for restaurants and all are invited to email their current menus and service hours to takeout@azrestaurant.org. Diners are encouraged to go to the official Arizona Takeout Week website at www.aztakeoutweek.com to learn more and start dining on the go! About the Arizona Restaurant Association: Dedicated to helping its members become leaders in their communities through building customer loyalty, escalating awareness of food safety and healthy living, bolstering a thriving industry and rewarding workforce, and increasing financial success, the Arizona Restaurant Association is the brainchild behind events that support the state’s culinary scene including Arizona Restaurant Week and the Foodist Awards.

SICK LEAVE IN THE TIME OF THE CORONAVIRUS

ARIZONA IS AMONG A HANDFUL OF STATES THAT HAS A PAID SICK LEAVE LAW. The Fair Wages and Healthy Family Act was passed in 2017. Until recently, it was the only protection that Arizonans had when it came to sick leave. However, in response to the novel Coronavirus, President Trump also recently signed a national paid sick leave law - the Families First Coronavirus Response Act. A large percentage of Americans have been temporarily or indefinitely put on a leave of absence and each of these laws offer workers financial help through this pandemic.

Under the Arizona Act, paid sick leave is required by all employers for full, part-time or temporary employees. Additionally, union workers who were under a bargaining agreement prior to the Act’s effective date may not be covered. The Arizona Act requires employers

with fewer than 15 employees to provide at least 24 hours of annual paid sick leave time and employers with 15 or more employees must provide at least 40 hours of annual paid sick leave time.

The Arizona Act allows for employers to be flexible and give the full allotment of paid sick leave even if employees are still in their 90-day grace period. Employees can also use their sick leave if they feel they may have been exposed and need to take some time to get tested for the novel Coronavirus. Likewise, if an employee has a family member who has fallen ill with COVID-19, they can also use sick leave and be covered under the Arizona Act. This also extends if the employee needs to take time off to get that family member tested. In Arizona, parents can also use their sick leave if their children are forced

to stay home due to schools closing— such is the case by the recent mandate issued by Gov. Doug Ducey amid fears that children could increase the spread of COVID-19. It can also be used during times when a public official forces a business to close due to a health crisis. Employees do not need to give any formal notice of leave according to the Arizona Act and can request it via phone, email or in person. The paid-sick leave law does allow some wiggle room. For example, some employers might require employees to allocate some vacation days to their time off on sick leave. Employers also have the option to combine all the possible days for paid time off, including vacation and other personal leave. The Arizona Act does not cover independent contractors, freelancers, babysitters, writers on contracts and those who are self-employed. Starting April 3, everyone can benefit from the new federal paid sick leave law. Now, those who were not covered prior to COVID-19 will be able to take sick leave for two weeks maximum with their normal pay up to $511 per day. Additionally, if an employee must take time off to stay home with a child because of school cancellations, they are able to stay at home for 12 weeks

while being compensated two-thirds of their normal salary up to $200 per day. To fund this massive program, a tax credit is given to employers against the 6.2% payroll tax. If the percentage amount is greater, the government will reimburse the employer and selfemployed independent contractors can receive a tax credit as well. With many people out of work currently due to COVID-19, the new bill also gives a 90 day extension to pay 2019 taxes in addition to the normal deadline of April 15. Employers and their employees are venturing into uncharted territory in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. As restaurants, bars and retail shops close, there is a heightened worry for those who work for tips and minimum wage. Torn between keeping workers healthy and reducing loss of revenue, the business complications of the pandemic stretch far beyond just the corporate world.

The company focuses on providing general counsel, including legal advice on capital formation, mergers and acquisitions, litigation strategy and intellectual property.

ADOR SEEKING UNCLAIMED PROPERTY OWNERS THE ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE’S (ADOR) UNCLAIMED PROPERTY PROGRAM HAS IDENTIFIED MORE THAN $900 MILLION THAT BELONGED TO MORE THAN 1.1 MILLION PEOPLE WITH LAST KNOWN ADDRESSES IN MARICOPA COUNTY. The agency is sending out notices to the potential property owners and their families to attempt to return the funds. Some of the property dates back more than 30 years with one property being worth $500,000. Unclaimed property generally consists of money due to an individual from sources like old bank accounts, uncashed payroll checks, tax refunds, credit balances, rebates, returned deposits and dormant safe deposit boxes. Often property becomes unclaimed because the company that holds the funds has an outdated or the wrong forwarding address for its customer and in some cases, a person passes away with no family members

aware of the assets. ADOR returns property to owners who provide documentation showing their right to claim the assets. Claimants must include with their claim form a valid photo ID, such as a driver’s license or other applicable identification, and documentation linking them to the owner’s last known address. Claimants must also provide documentation demonstrating a legal right to claim any property listed in another name. There is currently $1.5 billion in unclaimed assets in the state being safeguarded by the Arizona Department of Revenue. ADOR’s Unclaimed Property program returned $48.4 million to rightful owners in fiscal year 2019 (July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019). For more information on ADOR’s Unclaimed Property program, including how to make a claim and frequently asked questions, go to www.azdor.gov and click on the Unclaimed Property tab.

Add A To-Do to Your Spring-Cleaning List: Your Finances

hen the warm weather finally hits, most of us get bit by the spring-cleaning bug. Our to-do lists often include cleaning out our garages, basements and closets. But this year, it might be time to add another section to the list: finances. Whether you just need to reorganize or do a thorough cleansing, this to-do list will help you tidy up your financial house. • De-clutter your credit cards — and your wallet: If your wallet is bulging with plastic, look at all your credit cards and trim down to the ones you really need on a regular basis. Evaluate your cards based on benefits such as cash back or airline miles and prioritize the ones with the greatest offerings. Store unneeded cards in a safe place or cancel the ones you don’t use. But, of course, take into consideration whether canceling a card will negatively affect your credit rating before doing so. • Cancel unused memberships: If a new at-home exercise routine has replaced your trips to the health club or gym, or if you’re rarely playing golf at a course you belong to, consider canceling your membership. Even if you have to pay a fee, you may quickly recoup your financial losses. • Negotiate better deals with your service providers: Whether it’s your cable, internet or waste removal company, chances are you can negotiate a better rate. Simply take time to get quotes from competitors. If they are offering lower rates for the same services, go back to your service provider to see if they will price match to keep your business. If not, switch to someone new.

accounts can increase the amount of time you spend opening mail, reconciling statements, keeping records and paying bills. • Update your financial records: Make a list of your current financial accounts, contacts and passwords. Keep this information in a safe and secure place. • Update your beneficiary designations: Your beneficiary designations override your will. So, if you’ve experienced a marriage, divorce, birth, adoption or death, make sure your beneficiary designations reflect your wishes. • Simplify your investments: If tracking various investments stresses you out, consider asset allocation or managed accounts. Attempting to manage and track too many investment accounts can require a great deal of time and, if you’re not on top of the details, can prevent you making the best investment choices for your portfolio. Consider working with a financial professional to help you organize your finances and help you determine what kinds of investments might work best for you. Consult a financial advisor for more ideas and strategies on ways to get your finances in order. THIS IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT.

12TH ANNUAL “KEEP OUR PLANET NEAT, RECYCLE YOUR CAR SEAT” HAS YOUR CHILD OUTGROWN THEIR SEAT? Is it expired? Has it been in an accident? If so, don’t throw it out – RECYCLE IT! NARPRO (Network of Auto Repair Professionals) is partnering with Child Crisis Arizona, Safe Kids Maricopa County and numerous local organizations to collect old, expired, and damaged car seats which volunteers will take apart for proper recycling. Car seats don’t last forever, and over time their components will break down, especially in the hot Arizona sun. Older car seats or those that have been involved in an accident may not have visible damage, but they should not be used. This annual event helps those with older, expired, or damaged car seats get rid of them in an environmentally friendly way, by keeping them out of vehicles and landfills. Anyone can drop off car seats that need to be recycled at one of the participating Network of Neighborhood Auto Repair Professionals shops from now until April 15, 2020. Find a participating NARPRO location at NARPRO.com/ find-a-shop.

Neighborhood Auto Repair Professionals (NARPRO) helps car owners find skilled and honest car repair shops. NARPRO only recommends independent, familyowned, full-service auto repair shops that have passed 26 rigorous tests. NARPRO.com to find recommended shops near work or home. NARPRO is the easiest way to find an honest mechanic in the Valley. Safe Kids Maricopa County is led by Child Crisis Arizona, which provides dedicated and caring staff, operation support and other resources to assist in achieving our common goal: keeping your kids safe. Based on the needs of the community, this coalition implements evidence-based programs, such as car-seat checkups, safety workshops and sports clinics, that help parents and caregivers prevent childhood injuries. For more information visit Childcrisisaz.org/ safe-kids-maricopa/

On April 18, volunteers and NARPRO shop owners will be dismantling the old car seats. They will recycle the plastic, metal and fabric components separately. For example, elements of the fabric, padding, and straps can be used in animal shelters. Quilted fabric becomes bedding or chew toys for the animals. Long straps make free leashes. Clean polystyrene foam (rigid foam) from seats can be recycled into an Earth Friendly Block™ which are used in commercial and residential construction. northtatumtimes.com

KEEPING YOUR BBQ ISLAND IN TOP NOTCH CONDITION By The BBQ Island Team

WHEN SOMETHING IS BRAND NEW, WE ALL TAKE EXTRA CARE TO MAKE SURE THAT IT STAYS LOOKING NICE FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE. It’s no different when we get a brandnew grill or decide to create a custom outdoor kitchen of our own. Here’s the deal: your outdoor island will get some battle scars somewhere down the line, and we’re here to let you know that it’s okay! The issue is that no one talks about the maintenance and what the best practices are to increase the lifespan of your grill and outdoor kitchen components…until now! YOUR FIRST MAJOR TIP OF THE DAY Covers, Covers, Covers. Does the brand you purchased have covers that are specific to their products? If so, get them! And don’t cheap out on a knock off brand. Vinyl is the preferred material you want to look for. They are waterproof and tend to hold up better in the heat. SECOND TIP OF THE DAY Get the right type of cleaner. What we mean by

this is make sure your cleaner is food safe and has natural based ingredients. The last thing we want is people to spray the inside of their grills and refrigerators with chemicals that could be harmful. We sell an amazing cleaner made from cactus enzymes that is not only safe, but it also cleans the toughest grease stains!

KNOW WHY AND HOW YOU CLEAN! If you have a built-in Pellet smoker, you’ll want to vacuum out the ash pot every three to four cooks. This helps with the functionality of the pellet smoker as well. During the monsoon season or if you live by a shoreline, you’ll want to clean the grill more frequently. If water blends with the old food particles and residue, it creates acidity that can damage stainless steel and can also build up bacteria faster. By the shoreline, there is more salt in the air which can damage any stainless steel, especially if it is not full grade 304, so make sure to also wipe down the hood! Bonus Tip: Did you know if you have porcelain grates you should only use brass bristle brushes? Stainless steel type brushes can be too rough and scrap off the porcelain.

OVERALL TUNE-UPS BY THE PROS We always recommend that you have a professional come out at least once a year to give your outdoor kitchen the love and attention it needs. Since they’re more familiar with gas lines, installation, and refurbishing, they are more qualified to check those gas lines, inside the island, and all the inner workings. Have fun and hopefully these tips will keep you grilling for many more years!

COVER STORY

Iron Doors Arizona

ADDING STYLE AND SECURITY TO YOUR HOME OR BUSINESS By Michelle Talsma Everson

teve Yagudayev, CEO of Iron Doors Arizona, knows his way around entryways. The owner of Iron Doors Arizona, LLC, for the past four years, Yagudayev has worked hard as the business has become the largest iron door company in the state with Arizona’s largest showroom, too.

“At Iron Doors Arizona, we design and manufacture the finest handcrafted iron entry doors, custom gates and high end garage doors,” Yagudayev explains. “We are successful in providing our customers with personal detailed service and beautiful, quality products.” “Our iron doors are designed to meet the highest standards of beauty and

security. We have hundreds of existing designs but also work closely with homeowners, builders, and architects to create custom designs,” he continues. “We specialize in creating custom sizing that will add lasting curb appeal to your home. Customers can choose from many different finish options. All of our wrought iron doors include the threshold as well as all weather stripping.” Not only does Iron Doors Arizona provide iron doors for Arizona residents, but they ship doors nationwide. At any point, their warehouse and showroom has more than 500 doors in stock, Yagudayev says. “Customers can literally watch their home or business transform with our help,” he explains. “Our doors are hand-crafted in a specialized factory with quality management every step of the way. We bring with us a team of highly skilled metal workers, iron forgers, and design consultants whom have a deep understanding and a rich history in the art of forging iron. Our products are hand crafted with the finest steel, exterior artisan paints, and engineered glass.” So what is the difference between an iron door and a traditional wooden door that most homes and businesses have? “Wood doors need extensive maintenance and are prone to sagging, drooping and changing shape,” explains Yagudayev. “Wood doors must be stained and sealed every few years to prevent rotting and keep them looking good. Any door over eight feet tall probably does not have a warranty. Our iron doors need no maintenance, will not change shape or warp, and

come galvanized for marine grade corrosion protection.” The family-owned company, which is home to about 30 employees and sells between 90-100 doors a month, specializes in helping customers pick out the perfect door for their needs, he adds. “Helping customers upgrading their home with spectacular custom iron doors is rewarding for all of us,” Yagudayev shares. “Customers can personally see numerous doors in our showroom. We highlight the many different finishes, sizes, styles and options to choose from to customize the doors of their dreams. At Iron Doors Arizona, we show our customers the many different types available for purchase so they can see what the finished product will look like.” “We know it can be overwhelming to search for styles and designs to choose from, which is why we operate our showroom so you can get a better sense of what you like,” he adds. “Customers can walk in and view the single and double options with delicate swirls and strong, modern, clean lines, and choose the ones that will perfectly suit their home or business.” ADVANTAGES OF IRON DOORS “It’s about more than just good looks with your iron front doors,” Yagudayev explains. “We appreciate the time and effort customers put into customizing their choice and we want to make sure they understand the value they get when they add them to their home.” Some of the benefits of iron doors include: • Customizable for any entryway, northtatumtimes.com

whether single or double. • Rust-free iron with minimal upkeep necessary. • Weather-resistant with extremely long-lasting materials. • An instant boost to your property value. • Competitive pricing and flexible financing.

Design benefits of iron doors include: • No visible weld; they are always smooth. • High-quality dual pane low-e glass with hand applied faux finish. • Injected polyurethane foam into the door and frame. • Heavy-duty weather stripping around jamb and glass frame. • Single pane or dual pane glass based on needs. • Pre-hung with flush bolts installed and pre-drilled for hardware. • Solid threshold is integral to the frame. • Solid 5/8 inch, ¾ inch and 1-inch scrolls welded to a heavy-duty tubing frame. CUSTOM AND QUALITY “All of our doors, whether single or double, offer stunning style that incorporates seamlessly into your home and ranges from simple or modern to intricate or old-fashioned,” Yagudayev says. “Curb appeal is instantly upgraded with handcrafted ironwork to create a showstopper that impresses guests, all while the sturdy wrought iron keeps unwanted visitors out of your home for an added sense of security.” Each door they design comes with a limited lifetime warranty; the best on the market, Yagudayev explains. Also, there are no boring doorknobs here— Iron Doors Arizona is home to a large selection of hand forged door pulls that are designed to enhance the look of the doors. Worried about ventilation? These doors, he explains, are meant to replace both the traditional wooden and screen doors. The metal screen is magnetic and easy to take on and off. “Our doors come with dual pane, low-e tempered glass – clear, frosted, patterned options – just to name a northtatumtimes.com

few,” Yagudayev says.

If home or business owners are worried that iron doors may be hard to open, he says that couldn’t be further from the truth. “With our special ballbearing hinges these doors are easy to open and close. Some homeowners even claim that they are easier than their old solid oak doors!” “When it comes to door design, the sky is the limit and we are experts regarding suggesting options and customizations,” he continues. “We can easily create shapes — from rectangular to arched — and can use glass or screen paneling to put together the entrance of your dreams. Good news: there is no additional cost for a custom design! Our sales team is here to help with the design process every step of the way.” For those interested in adding iron doors to their home or business, he shares that custom doors have a turnaround time of approximately 10-12 weeks, and iron doors from the showroom are available in just a matter of days.

RECREATION

SAFE USE OF PARKS AND OPEN SPACES DURING THE COVID-19 OUTBREAK

he National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) prepared the following statement in support of the safe use of parks and open spaces during the COVID-19 outbreak. To date, more than 500 organizations have signed on to voice support. Concerns about the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak continue to grip our nation. As organizations that support the power of parks and open spaces as essential resources for health and wellness, we understand that people may have questions and concerns about visiting their local parks, trails or open spaces at this time. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has flagged mental health as a top concern associated with the COVID-19 outbreak. We recognize that social distancing may take a toll on our mental health, especially during highstress and anxiety-producing global public health emergencies. We also know that parks provide a connection to the outdoors and green space as well as opportunities for physical activity which studies demonstrate reduces stress and improves mental health.

northtatumtimes.com

We believe that many parks, trails and open spaces can continue to be used in a safe manner that allows people to enjoy the mental and physical health benefits these spaces provide. In all instances, we recommend people follow local, state and national ordinances and guidelines regarding the use of these spaces and recognize that these vary from community to community.

of social gatherings including outdoor picnicking, pick-up sports and other group hangouts, and maintain proper physical distance at all times.

In places where there are no restrictions on the use of local parks, trails and open spaces, we encourage all users to follow these recommendations:

• Consult their local and state ordinances and guidelines for the most up to date recommendations on park and trail use.

• Refrain from using parks or trails if they are exhibiting symptoms. • Follow CDC’s guidance on personal hygiene prior to and during use of parks or trails. • Prepare for limited access to public restrooms or water fountains. • While on trails, warn other users of their presence and as they pass, and step aside to let others pass. • Follow CDC guidance on the recommended size

• Observe CDC’s minimum recommended social distancing of 6 feet from other individuals at all times. If this is not possible, users should find an alternate location or depart that space.

We encourage local jurisdictions to keep parks, trails and open spaces accessible as long as it is safe to do so. Our local parks, trails and open spaces have always served as places where people can find respite and seek peace and restoration. During this time of uncertainty, these places are needed now more than ever. Our nation’s park and recreation professionals are working hard to maintain these spaces and keep them safe, accessible and benefiting our communities during these challenging times. Let us all do our part to use them in a way that respects each other and public health guidance.

ESTATE PLANNING IN THIS TIME OF UNCERTAINTY By Libby Banks, the Law Office of Libby Banks, PLLC

am writing this in mid-March, for publication in April, not knowing what the next thirty days may bring. COVID-19 is an uncertain virus that our scientists are still figuring out. Many of you are sheltering in place, avoiding any public meetings and keeping social distance even from family to protect those who are vulnerable. Many are also thinking about estate planning, but not wanting to proceed because they don’t want to leave home. Because of that, we are offering online meetings through Zoom or via Facetime. This system allows us to talk with you face-to-face to begin an estate plan for you. For signing the plan, we currently are doing very short in-person meetings but researching other options to permit you to stay home and still put a plan in place. Some of the benefits of putting a plan in place are assuring that you’ve appointed someone to manage your assets and care for you if you are incapacitated. One of the best ways to assure that someone can

step in quickly if you are no longer able to handle your affairs is with the Revocable Living Trust. The Trust names the trustee you selected and permits that person to step into your shoes to pay your bills, preserve your assets, liquidate properties, and generally assure that both you and your finances are being cared for.

To begin your estate planning process, call for our free initial consultation: 602-375-6752 or go to our website at Libbybanks.com/schedule-estateplanning-meeting to book an appointment online.

Likewise, after your death, the Trust assures that your named executor can wrap up your estate expeditiously. A properly prepared and funded Revocable Living Trust will avoid the need for probate on your death. Since probate court filings are public record, the trust also avoids the possibility of disclosure of your assets to the public. With a Trust, the person you selected to take charge of your estate will be able to step in quickly to gather, sell and distribute your assets to your beneficiaries with no need for a court’s involvement. The peace of mind of having your estate planning done is immeasurable. Think about moving forward now; we are blessed to be in this age of technology that permits us to plan even while we are hunkered down to protect ourselves and others.

This show also brings new characters to the forefront of Star Wars canon, including Anakin's apprentice Ahsoka Tano (Ashley Eckstein), and Captain Rex (Dee Bradley Baker). Free Solo From award-winning documentary filmmaker E. Chai Vasarhelyi (“MERU”) and world-renowned photographer and mountaineer Jimmy Chin comes National Geographic Documentary Film’s FREE SOLO, a stunning, intimate and unflinching portrait of the free soloist climber Alex Honnold, as he prepares to achieve his lifelong dream: climbing the face of the world’s most famous rock ... the 3,000ft El Capitan in Yosemite National Park ... without a rope. Celebrated as one of the greatest athletic feats of any kind, Honnold’s climb set the ultimate standard: perfection or death. Succeeding in this challenge, Honnold enters his story in the annals of human achievement. FREE SOLO is both an edgeof-your seat thriller and an inspiring portrait of an athlete who exceeded our cur-

rent understanding of human physical and mental potential. The result is a triumph of the human spirit.

But an unexpected trouble threatens John Paul III when Lenny Belardo, the previous Pope Pius XIII who was in a coma from nine months ago after to suffer a heart attack while he was celebrating a mass, wakes up to claim his place as the legitimate Pope of Rome. The news about Pius XIII's comeback shocks the Christianity, turning the admiration of millions of believers in true idolatry for the returned Pope. Given the unusual situation of two Popes in the Vatican at the same time, it unleashes an inner war between Pius XII and John Paul III, the first to recover his power, and the second to keep it.
